Brio Moderna Reverse Osmosis Bottleless Water Cooler Dispenser - Self-Cleaning, Dispenses Hot and Cold Water, TDS Meter, Child Safety Lock, Digital Display and LED Light

24 month update:To reset the beeping noise, push the up arrow and down arrow together until the clock blinks. Than press the up arrow for reset. The sound will beep every 6 months to tell you to replace the filters. We replace them when the water quality goes down. It been 2 years and it’s still dispensing water at 45 ppm from our tap water at 445 ppm.17 month Update:Some are saying that you can’t reset the beeping noise it makes when you need to change the filters. Twice I’ve faced the beep to tell me to replace the filters. I just start to hold down buttons together and managed to reset the alarm. We have the dispenser now for over a year and we truly Love it. It so much easier than hauling large amounts of purified water. The Charcoal filters will go out first but even without replacing the charcoal filters my water is Registering at 41 ppm from 445ppm. When the reverse osmosis filters stops working, I will replace the filters. But the water still tastes better than most bottled water.We have had ours for a few months, it been running flawlessly. I love having a unlimited source of clean water. Living in the Desert in a major city, the water is about 450 ppm coming out of the tap. That is un drinkable. Most filter systems just don’t do a good job cleaning the water. We tried making distilled water but it took 4 hours to make 3/4 gallon. In the summer, I couldn’t make enough water. Than we got a table top dispenser, but it took a lot of energy to keep it going. I’ve never liked the taste of bottle water or the waste on the planets. So this dispenser was are next try and it’s been so good! I don’t think I will ever need another system. Now the water comes out of the dispenser at 41 ppm and it tastes so good.

This unit could have gotten a higher rating had the instructions been at least proof read and more complete. I suspect they could only have been written be an Ivy League graduate. Both the quick set up sticker and page 11 of manual incorrectly explains how to set the hot and cold temperatures. The correct information is on page 5. There also is no explanation on how to use the push in and release quick connections. I’m familiar with shark bite connectors but us country bumpkins never saw these plastic ones before. My hook up was not standard under the sink and I needed to adjust tubing length, including buying longer lengths, the so called trial and revise method. A comment or picture in the manual would have been helpful. Also be advised that the flush cap does not fit the RO filter so I got the hint that that one doesn’t need flushing. The manual does not tell you this.Also missing from the instructions is that the safety lock is on all the time. I could not find how to turn it off. To get hot water, one has to hit the lock button and immediately hit the hot water button. Not sure how long the lock is inactive but it’s not long. . The “hot” operation is kinda implied on page five but perhaps the writer cold have explained it a bit better.Whatever you set the hot and cold temps to be you won’t get that out of the spout until you flush some out first I measured the hot temp, set at 180, and got 170 after flushing. Likewise a cold setting of 39 turned out to be in the mid 40s. One cannot just get a small cup of really cold water right out of the spout. My wife likes that so I won’t be sending the machine back. I fill up a quart jar and put it in the frig.To sum it up, it makes good water, but you can get the RO under sink setup cheaper.Update 8/19/2021Perhaps the most annoying design feature on this machine is the control panel. The Lock,Hot,TDS, and Cold bottoms are flush with panel and are touch activated. They just cannot be seen in low light conditions. There are lights behind the controls so why not have them lit all the time. The hot and cold lights are on during the heating and cooling process.Update 1/15/22I’ve had this for 6 months now and the reason I know that is that an annoying beep has begun to tell me to change filters. You cannot stop the beeping unless you unplug the unit. The manual refers to an on/off switch. THERE IS NONE. The manual refers to a reset button I presume to reset the six month timer. THERE IS NONE. So the company has designed a machine that will annoy you until you change the filters. Brilliant. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE even at 20% off.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the instructions are horrible. However, once it is set up, it is a great product. Please read the questions and answers before you purchase, it will be helpful.My total dissolved solids went from 258 to 13. The water tastes very clean. Living in Florida, water quality is a problem, so it is great to have this for drinking water. The hot water is very hot, and the cold water gets down to about 39 degrees F, which is pretty good. I would highly recommend this product.

Overall the unit is a nice ro machine. relatively easy to install, however the manual is not up to date. tells you to flush the filters before intalling. however the membraine has a different connection and can not and should not be flushed. tells you to plug in for electrical connection, but there is no switch. another feature it refers to wi fi. There is no wi fi required. It a nice looking machine with the latest control features, except the control button are not as visible as the pictures show. In the shadows or at night they are almost impossible to see. the night light is no help. I put a motion light above my unit to help see the buttons. there are several areas within the installation manual that are not accurate including the fill line and return connection could be clearer. there are other areas the manual could be clearer. Over all it does do a nice job of filtering the water. Support tech were always very helpfull.
